Ten hours per client per week for MHSS is VITAL! During the ten hours that the Counselors spend with the MHSS individual, skills such as medication management, symptom management, symptom awareness, utilization of positive coping skills, increasing knowledge of community resources, and developing a personal support system are being guided and coached to the clients during MHSS. In order for these skills to be "learned" and applied by the clients in their daily lives and ultimately independently, the time of 10 hours per week is crucial and necessary. Decreasing these hours could potentially risk successful discharge of MHSS and can hinder their everyday lives.
